UNDER THE COVERS Chilly to the max -a splash of Duane and Delores - the pause the always refreshes
LEGENDARY MUSIC II Kudos to two of the most laid-back talented musicians and artists on IMP on the collaboration of this most beautiful piece of laid-back music painting a picture of blissful serenity reminiscent of a rendezvous in a secluded corner of a dimly-lit cocktail lounge. I can attest to there being a place like this, Dolores. "Just A Splash" brought back beautiful memories of enchanted idyllic and rapturous evenings in such a lounge in Waikiki sharing heavenly moments with music such as this floating on the gardenia scented night air marveling at the silhouette of Diamond Head in the distance and the splendor of a glorious sunset setting on the Pacific - the perfect union of body, spirit and souls. I could hear strains of "China Nights" and "More" by Kai Winding and Kenny Burrell in your collab - a confluence of your gifts of music richly flavored by the fusion of your individual musical style and sounds. Yes, Dolores and Duane, I have that vintage LP album on the Verve label in my extensive collection. It is one of my favourites to spin and listen to when I want to escape to that special place in my dreams and memories. Thank you for taking me there again with "Just A Splash" of beautiful music ...

For Our Friend Dolores Talking with Dolores, we joked around with what we were drinking and she said she enjoyed a good Manhattan, or Martini. She had a tune she was working on that I asked if I could add a few riffs to. I was the one who suggested the tital Just A Splash from our jokes. This song shows the lightheartedness of Dolores.
